Umm... I don't even know what to say. 131-92. I've never been a diehard Lakers fan, but come on -- 131-92?! That's just embarrassing. I'm a native Angelenos, and I wish I could say that I cheered them on 'til the bitter end, but sometime during the second quarter last night, I fell in love with the Celtics. Maybe it was their costumes. Maybe it was their defensive prowess. Maybe it was Pierce's smile.* Or, maybe, it was that they simply killed -- 18 steals overall (Rondo!) and record-setting 3-pointers (Allen!) -- how could you not love them?
So, Celtics fans, how does it feel? And all you Lakers fans out there, how are you handling the defeat?
* Is that sexist?
